Question

The measure of an angle is two times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the

measure of each angle?

Answer 1

60° and 30°

Explanation:

x = angle 1

2x = angle 2

2x+x=90

= 3x=90

x=30

30° and 90° - 30° = 60°

So, 30° and 60°

Answer 2

30 and 60

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90o

x+2x=90

3x=90

x=30

2*30=60

30+60=90
